Title: Mario Parties going on and on
Post by: HolyAarom on November 16, 2005, 03:36:30 PM
I've been playing MPs for more and a few years and I want to see if you guys still like MP. So what do you think about them coming out all the time? For me, I still think that they're all fun.

Well, maybe not to own and play by yourself
but renting the latest version to play with your three friends once in a while is always fun

See, here the thing about the Mario Party games, to me.

If Mario Party 35* was the first game of its kind (That is, the original Mario Party game), it'd be revolutionary, fun, etc. However, since it is the 35th of a series of 35 games that are essentially the same, with only minor changes and different mini-games, it's going to be seen as a lot less fun. I mean, it's like the concept that the more one plays a game, the less enjoyable it becomes on subsequent plays -- the Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns (curse you, ECON 251). Since Mario Party 35 isn't different enough from Mario Party 34, 33, 32, etc., it'll be less fun at the onset because people think they've already played it.

In other words, the later Mario Party games aren't bad games, at all, people are just not as amused by them because they've seen it before. As for the poll, I'm unsure if I've seen enough. No answer. Yet.

*Mario Party 35 is an inside joke that's really only explainable to myself. Crazy dream. Hard to explain.

The reason I'm voting that it depends is because, I've never played the full versions of any of them except MP1, MP2, and MP4. I think MP 6, and 7 will be fun for the mic idea, but basically the same as Insane Steve.

To me, MPs are only fun w/ friends and a bowl of popcorn.

Accually, yeah, if you don't have friends to play with, don't get them, at all.

I've only rented the first Mario Party a few times, and own Mario Party 2 and 4. I haven't played any others in the series.

Where's the "They're fine, but why own more than one?" option?

How does the microphone work? do you have to actualy say something? Or just blow into it like playing microphone games on Wario Ware: Touched?

No, you really talk, and the DS you also can talk in, but obviously the only mic game you have is Wario Ware Touched.
